45.4 Exceptions
The CHSP does not apply to the following:
- Articles. An article is a manufactured item such as an O-ring or a steel rod that is formed to a specific shape and, when used under normal conditions, does not release more than very small quantities of a hazardous chemical and does not pose a physical hazard or health risk to employees. Items such as welding/brazing rods, which may produce metal fumes when used, are hazardous materials and do not meet this exception.
- Biological hazards. These fall under the provisions of the Berkeley Lab's Biosafety Program (ES&H Manual Chapter 26).
Questions or comments may be addressed to the CHSP Manager.
